Coffee strong
4th Day of Christmas
-4 Calling Birds…Matthew-Mark-Luke-John…the gospels we stand upon
-3 French Hens…Faith, Hope, Love
-2 Turtle Doves… Old & New Testaments
-1 Partridge in a Pear Tree…Christ on the Cross
Whether or not the songwriter had meaning for the song and this was the meaning, Christmas is a beginning, a new beginning. We know Christ died for us, the Old & New Testaments were inspired by God, we are to practice the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, and we have the Gospels to give us inspiration and boundaries to achieve our relationship with Christ. the repetition of the song reminds us that each day we are given those things and more to keep us going. It tells us that Christ is with us, there to help us on our journey, is so invested in us that he gives us help as we need it.
Know you are prayed for.
